I can't recommend A&R Concrete & Hardscape enough!…read more From the very beginning, Rick and Richard were incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They made the entire process of transforming our backyard feel effortless. Communication was excellent, they were flexible with us throughout the project, and everything was handled exactly the way you'd hope when hiring a contractor for your home. The biggest thing for us was how stress-free they made the entire experience. They showed up, kept us informed, worked efficiently, and created a beautiful backyard that we're genuinely excited to enjoy with our family. The quality of the finished concrete looks amazing, and you can tell they take pride in their work. As new homeowners, finding contractors you can actually trust is a huge deal, and A&R absolutely earned our trust. Rick and Richard went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and were accommodating whenever we had questions or needed flexibility. Our backyard turned out better than we imagined, and the entire experience from the initial quote to the finished project was smooth and professional. If you're looking for concrete or hardscape work, A&R should absolutely be on your list. We would use them again without hesitation and recommend them to our friends and family. Thank you Rick, Richard, and the entire A&R crew for giving our family such a beautiful backyard!

Since we had a slope we needed the wall installed and then to have some old concrete removed and a good amount of new concrete poured. Rick went over our options and cost, and we decided on the route to go with. My neighbors highly recommended Rick and his team for the job. Communication and scheduling was very easy. Pricing was extremely reasonable, especially when you consider you have the best team for the job. They handled the permit with the city and kept me updated as the work was being completed. Everything looks beautiful and we are extremely happy with how this project turned out. Zero issues or hiccups, just an amazing team of professionals getting a job done perfectly and quick.

Love and respect Joe and RC Concrete team. From the very beginning, Joe was professional,…read moreknowledgeable, honest, and patient throughout the entire process. He took the time to carefully measure everything, explain the work clearly, and helped our community make the right long-term decisions instead of just the cheapest fix. The quality of the concrete work turned out great, and what impressed us the most was the follow-up service after completion. When we had some concerns about curing color variation, Joe personally came back with his team to inspect and take care of everything right away. That level of responsibility and professionalism is rare nowadays. Very fair pricing, great communication, and a team that truly stands behind their work. We're very happy with the result and would gladly work with RC Concrete again in the future.

I hired Daniel and the experience was extremely disappointing. He was very responsive when he was…read moreasking for money, but once he was paid, communication dropped off completely. He sent workers to my home on a Tuesday without any prior notice, and they told me they would return on Saturday once I had the sealant ready. Saturday came and went, and no one showed up or contacted me. He ignored my calls and messages afterward. To make matters worse, they didn't bring enough cement for the job and started using my own bricks to fill the space without asking or discussing it with me. This showed a lack of preparation and professionalism. Based on my experience, I would not trust what he says. He will leave you high and dry with unfinished work and zero communication. I now have to hire someone else to fix and complete the job.

It is very difficult getting a response from Dan. There were several times we attempted to meet up…read moreand it wouldn't happen. Finally he had me call him over FaceTime to discuss what needed to be done for our project. The issue is a shared wall between myself and neighbors and Dan said he has experience dealing with this. I sent him photos for our quote since he said that would be all he needed. This was on 11/30. I never heard from him again despite calling, texting, and reaching out thru Yelp. It's very disappointing but I guess it's to be expected when someone is already difficult to reach at the onset. In any case finding a reputable contractor who is reliable and response is key in any project. If you have someone that doesn't respond or reply its red flags for sure. Update: Thanks for responding, Dan. Your reply actually proves my point. For the record, I never asked you to help with anything "fake." I asked for a quote -- the one you said you could give based on photos -- and then you stopped responding. That's all this was about. If you simply told me this project was not for you that would have been the end of it. You ghosting and then responding to me on Yelp in such an unprofessional manner is what is crazy. Calling the situation "fake" also shows a misunderstanding of California property law. Tree-root damage to a shared wall is a real, common issue here, and nothing I described was unusual. Your decision to jump to insults is exactly why I warned others about your lack of basic communication and professionalism.

Run! Run! Run! Please don't use this service! Over the past 3 months, I've made him aware that…read morehis workers weren't doing well and I sent pictures. Recently he's been threatening me because I didn't want his service anymore and he was afraid of reviews. I think that I will have to notify the police of the situation In case of any negative situations. I have cameras everywhere, but just in case. He's NOT an honest man. His service used to be good, but not anymore. We established in the beginning what needed to be done and the price...but those basics are not getting done anymore. After almost 2 years EVERYTHING IS severely lacking. He only mows the lawn and we have to beg and plead to trim bushes etc......for what we're paying it's just not worth it. He likes to remind me that he only charged me for part in a sprinkler system. I would have gladly paid him labor but he said it was a ' favor' . If I thought it wasn't going to be done properly, I would have preferred to pay. When my family came to visit, the yard was NOTICEABLY poorly cared for. I WAS EMBARRASSED!!! Why? because they failed to mow or tend to the trees and scrubs . At the time I was in poor health yet and still I've had to trim trees and scrubs and still have to pick up what is CLEARLY BLOWN trash!!! HE was angry because I didn't want his service anymore more and he kept threatening me if I left a bad yelp review, so he wrote: ( mind you this is the man that LIES about everything) ~"you. Be careful-l am a child of God and His servant. Be careful, because my Father might punish you for what you're doing!" AND: ~"You better pay or I'll call collections "His workers scraped up and threw away the landscaping rocks because they didn't feel like sorting out the seeds that fell into them. I asked WELL IN ADVANCE, suggesting that they either replace them or I could take it out of the bill..... weeks in advance. Mind you, he's paid under the table ... I have proof. He was concerned about ICE and I told him not to worry that he could stay here awhile etc.. ~"if you post on my page ( YELP)I will take you to court for employee abuse and for making threats-because you *are* threatening me by saying that if I don't do what you want, you'll leave comments." ~Yesterday, I spent money on gas and paid a helper to fetch stone, and I gave it to you as a bonus just to make you happy. But even that wasn't enough. Reminder, HIS EMPLOYEES THREW THE OTHERS, but he was given the option, if I buy them I'll have to pay shipping, if you choose to bring them ..... you won't. ~"you. Be careful-l am a child of God and His servant. Be careful, because my Father might punish you for what you're doing!" But he constantly lies! You'd think we would have developed a relationship by now but not true. He wrote me a note detailing all FIVE XTRA Things that he's done over a 2 year period. Since he's NOT an honest man, I could guess at least some of it's true....it's NOT. His workers used to come at a decent time of day. Now they come late and stay 45 minutes at most I have been I poor health lately yet and still | have to trim and pick up what is CLEARLY BLOWN trash!!! See pictures I'd rather pay and get it done correctly than half done for FREE! I've caught him in so many lies. He won't answer texts or phone calls. So if I need something done or have a concern.....l can never get in contact.. UNLESS IT HAS TO DO WITH GETTING HIM PAID. He likes to remind me about that one time he cut down a bush but forgets that he's being paid $100 per visit JUST TO MOW THE LAWN!

Renaissance Paving also known as Renaissance Concrete Designs…read more Buyer beware, faulty workmanship standards. One week after job completion I noticed a 26 Ft. long end cap structural separation that was caused by faulty workmanship in the load bearing portions of the base structure supporting the pavers (see photos). Renaissance Paving Inc, is a two person Glendora, home business is owned and operated by Austin J. Webber II who is licensed as a C-27 Landscaping Contractor, 07/24/2008 (Bonding History cancelled 05/23/19). There is no record of a Glendora Business License Tax Certificate on file. He can undercut any competitive bid as he has minimal overhead (no direct crew or storefront). Austin outsources his grading and masonry work to an independent crew of Hondurans with minimal contractor guidance. He pulls no permits on the job so compliance with the codes in effect is an issue. After a confirmed appointment Austin will show up in his Hawaiian shirt, Florsheim shoes and black Mercedes roadster, do some physical measurements on the job, show you some samples and give you a bottom line number. His contract invoice has no breakout for materials, sublet or labor just "Down Payment, Demo and Completion." Do read the fine print on the back of Austin's contract as it contains a "Neutral Arbitration" clause (you have no judicial rights to discovery or appeal in a court of law) if you are not happy with the job.

"Awesome work / end-product"…read more I contacted various paving companies, and I ended up with Renaissance Paving. After meeting Austin and going over the price, materials, timeline, and expectations, I was convinced they were the ones I wanted to work with. Although they had lots of other jobs lined-up before mine, they finished earlier in another side, and asked if I was ready for them. It took them less than 4 days to complete my entire back-yard. The job was very clean and nicely done. Austin showed up multiple times to make sure they were meeting my expectations. My family and I are now enjoying our paved-patio thanks to Renaissance Paving! I'm pleased with the work product, and the excellence customer services Austin and Nancy provided. With that, I highly recommend this company.

I had reached out to several contractors that day, and Victor was the first to respond. He was also able to get me a quote and a timeline for the project very quickly. We signed the contract a few days later, and amazingly, the entire project was completed within a week. Victor was exceptional with communication throughout the process and always made sure to confirm details with me before moving forward. His son Sebastian and daughter Penelope were also with him every time he visited the project. All three were extremely kind, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Sebastian even made a few suggestions that ultimately led us to pivot to a slightly different design, which we ended up loving. The entire project went incredibly smoothly, and we couldn't be happier with the finished retaining wall. Victor and his family were reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly cared about making sure we were happy with the final result. I would absolutely recommend Belman Pavers and look forward to working with them on future projects!
